GOT
CHICK´N?

One of my favorite weeks so far on
the mission! We have had a lot of miracles and a lot of laughs....

Well why "got chicken?"
Get ready! haha on Tuesday we were in an interchange. I was with Elder
Choez from Ecuador. We had a service planned in the morning and we
thought that we were going to paint a members wall. When we got there,
they weren´t prepared and told us that they would ask their mom who lives right
beside them if she had something that she needed. She said that she
needed to clean the chicken coop.... OKAY! let’s do it! We started cleaning
when she said to us "That rooster right there never leaves me alone.
He always pecks me and I just want to kill him and turn him into a
soup..." Elder Choez who has a little more experience with that kind of
thing than I ( that being ZERO experience) said "well alright sister! LETS
DO IT!" She said "really? You would do that? Alright! Go on
ahead!" So basically Elder Choez went chasing after the chicken and after
a minute or two had it ready. I had to hold it down and then he killed
it. She then asked if we could pluck the feathers and cut and clean it
up. So we got going and were just about done when we got to the part of
pulling out the intestines. I was doing great and the sight and texture didn’t
bother me. I then took a big breath in and honestly thought I was going
to faint. Everything went blurry and I couldn’t see almost anything.
I had to hurry and lean up against a wall and breathe for a minute or two until
I felt better. It really was the craziest feeling I have ever had.
So it wasn´t the service that we had planned but.... "insasmuch as ye have
done it, unto one of the least of these my brethen....." haha

HUMBERTO!!! I think I said that last
week a man came to church that was invited by some members. Yeah his name
is Humberto. We taught him on Wednesday. He is trying to stop
drinking and doing drugs and has been drug free for almost 3 weeks. He
recognized that he needed God´s help to do it so he showed up Sunday. He
accepted the baptismal invitation and we have taught him every day from that
time. He wants to leave behind his past and hopes for a better future.
When we invited him to be baptized the 16th, he told us he would be out of
town. We then promised him blessings and explained baptism a little bit
more and HE CHANGED HIS PLANS. He announced his baptism on Friday to the
family that invited him in a family night we had. He said "well...
these last 61 years of my life, I feel like I haven’t really had a
purpose. For the first time I feel like I am in the truth. I feel
something.... I don’t know what it is but I know it is true.... that is why I
have decided to be baptized." He later told us that it is the only
desire that he has. We are super stoked and getting him ready for this
week! Sorry out of time! Love you and I know that this church is
true!

Love,

Elder Crofts
